Abstract

In this text, which intersects both chronicle and narrative characteristics, I unfold in writing the work “123 pointers”, performed in 2021. By concatenating performance, oral memory, silk screening and mail art, the work aims to promote the storytelling about Juquery, a psychiatric colony that has ended its confinement program in 2021, after 123 years of continual functioning. The number 123 not only refers to this timeframe, but also indicates the amount of people that received phone calls, voice messages or that were consulted in the streets of Franco da Rocha in order to share and hear memories about Juquery, as if each participant was a pointer and a  mobilizer of the ongoing History. While I describe the phone calls and assemble the participants’ speeches, I take note of some reflections about the concepts of listening and existence.
